James Thurber is one of the funniest writers of his age, or most other age. I recommend him highly. His works are touching, nostaligic, well observed and above all, funny. He wrote the Secret Life of Walter Mitty

His memorial is in trouble; The Thurber House is a non-profit which introduces people to his life and work. They need to raise $200,000 to keep going for another 40 years.

Stuff You Should Know
Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
